Ping to info on plane that disappeared from Angola in May.

TK, didn't you have some exchanges of posts with the sister of the missing pilot, Padilla? IIRC her screen (and real) name is Brenda Padilla Kirkland, but it's not listed when a search is done.

Ping to info on plane that disappeared from Angola in May.

The missing plane was last spotted at Conakry airport in Guinea in July, with a paint job underway and the registration numbers partially obscured. I believe that was the last time it was seen.

The crashed flight originated from Conakry airport.

Both planes (727-223's) had been retired from the American Airlines fleet.

Hi windchime. Yes I did exchange post with Brenda Padilla on FR some months ago. I will see if I can find it if no one else has yet. I am going to read this thread and then I'll see if I can find it.

Yes,
I am Joseph B. Padilla, SR.
My sister's name isn't Brenda Padilla.
It is Benita Padilla-Kirkland.
I contacted the FBI on 12-26-2003 about the plane that crashed on christams day in Africa.
I had told the FBI that a reporter from London called me to ask me if i had heard about the plane crash.
He said that he had spoken to the co-pilot of the plane which survived the crash and that the plane was the same plane that my brother Ben Charles Padilla, Jr. was hi-jacked from.
So far, the FBI has not contacted me to let me know if it was the same plane or not.
My e-mail address incase anyone has any new information is,
padilla1956@cox.net
Please e-mail me if any one hears any information.
My phone number is - 850-944-9688.
I live in Pensacola, FL.
Thank you,
Joseph B. Padilla, SR.
